welp.. I'm a big fan of ol Jason. Starting with Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels. I'm sad to report that this movie is hella slow & cheesy. I'm not including Fast & Furious / Meg films, those are clearly dumb popcorn movies... but for the rest of his movies like Blitz & Crank or Wrath of Man, this one is just kinda lame. I do like the Ukraine graffiti they snuck into the movie with Russians being the enemy. but the story is just a little too slow with too much fat & not enough meat. The female "bad guy" is terrible.. overly aggressive & cursing in such a dumb way it hurts... The Penguin had a badass B as the enemy , but this B just sucks major a$$ lol..
this movie feels like something Jason shot between takes of The BeeKeeper
Statham is getting old, so this is a sign i guess. less action, more "acting" He is about to enter the Bruce Willis stage of "I'm old" action movies. Statham needs to get into more comedy.. he is great at those movies. Why doesn't anyone make good comedy anymore?
I'm watching the movie as I write this.... this will make for a great MST3000 film !!! I waiting until the end, usually a good ending action sequence.. but HOLY F this is soooo bad. Its at least good bad. I'm laughing. Jason kills a fellow VET in the end & it is soooooooooo freakn lame watching the movie just for this death is almost worth it.
okay... get drunk with your friends & improv lines while you watch this.. it'll be great!!!
